gabuzomeu Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Nice shots. No mig29 on deck? i thought they replaced su-33? Details: Asus Z-170E, Intel i5-6600K @ 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G Win 10 Home
dooom Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I can only imagine such port transits must really be very significant photo ops for the military - regardless of the nation/alliance. My guess is that even those are the shiniest planes int he hangar with a fresh coat of red paint on the ladders. It is really a striking sight indeed.

Weta43 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 There was a Ka-52K parked aft on the Kuz deck. Guardian had a video. Cheers.
mwd2 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) In picture one, below the flightdeck and Su-33, is this a SAM unit?

Coxy_99 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 Heres some more from yesterdays past, Possibly a nice reference for ED and Wags on detail :)

QuiGon Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Nice shots. No mig29 on deck? i thought they replaced su-33? Not entirely. The Su-33 were upgraded with new bombing computers (SVP-24, primarily used in the Su-24M) that allow them to drop dumb bombs precisley. It calculates the optimal point for bomb release based on the position of the aircraft and target, wind speed and direction, and other variables. This convertes the Su-33 to an efficent and true multirole platform. But there should also be some MiG-29K embarked. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
gavagai Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Which way were they going?

Coxy_99 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 Which way were they going? South through the dover straits then past france and spain to the med i believe.
riproren Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Just for clarification, the 5th pic in post #9 is the British destroyer HMS Duncan D37. It was there just keeping an eye on things. Alienware Area 51, Windows 10, I7-5820k, 6 cores 15mb Cache Overclocked to 3.8GGZ, 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2133mhz, Dual Nvidia Titan X 12MB. 2TB 7200rpm sata 6gb/s,
Weta43 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Correct its in one of the images :thumbup: True :), but at that angle you could easily overlook it as a Helix. The angle was better (but the image quality poorer) in the Guardian video: Cheers.
Kuky Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Definitely a SAM unit (looks like Tanguska type to me). Great shots.. great sight for sure.

probad Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 correct, when you take tunguska turrets and slap them onto a boat you get the kashtan ciws
mwd2 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Yeah could be a SA-19 type. Playing: DCS World Intel i7-13700KF, 64GB DDR5 @5600MHz, RTX 4080 ZOTAC Trinity, WIN 11 64Bit Prof. Squadron "Serious Uglies" / Discord-Server: https://discord.gg/2WccwBh Ghost0815
Coxy_99 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 So the tunguska can be used on the ship as tripple A ?
joey45 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Just for clarification, the 5th pic in post #9 is the British destroyer HMS Duncan D37. It was there just keeping an eye on things. Surprised it didn't break down... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Emu Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Noted that they've started equipping Type 45s with Harpoon launchers in the above.
probad Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 So the tunguska can be used on the ship as tripple A ? it wasn't meant literally but the kashtan has the same weapons layout as a tunguska: 2*30mm + 8*9m311. while the tunguska is considered aaa, with regard to the ranges involved in a naval environment the kashtan is "relegated" to ciws for intercepting things that get past their sa-300f/sa-3/etc.
QuiGon Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Flight deck ops in western mediterranean sea (Su-33, MiG-29K and Ka-27). Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
